While randomly browsing the "latest" listing for Twisting The Hellmouth, I stumbled across a fic written around one of the entries on Chris' "Things Xander Is No Longer Allowed To Do": Inventory, by Chaoseternus.
It's not particularly great, but it's there, and that got me to wondering -- hey, Chris, have there been any other stories born out of that challenge that you've heard of?

A Drabble is a short form, a composition excercise, consisting of precisely 100 words. I was asked recently (and posted in my LJ) for one starring Honor Harrington, of fame in several excellent novels by David Weber. And this popped into my head:

Once upon a time, a witch named Willow Rosenberg cast a spell.
It was an extraordinarily powerful spell. It changed what had once been an empowerment given to a single person into something tied to the bloodlines of every potential recipient.
It changed the balance of power in the universe forever.
Some two thousand years later, Admiral and Steadholder Honor Alexander-Harrington, and her treecat companion, Nimitz, emerged from an alleyway in Landing City, as Honor slid a wooden stake back into the pocket hidden under her skirt.
One could explain a lot of things with 'genetic augmentation' these days.

I've known and taught 4 or 5 women born into the moslem faith and what they mentioned and hinted at when thier keeper was otherwise occupied has convinced me that any American woman that marries a moslem man is badly fooled and in for a very rough and many times lethal marriage.
Like the mafia once your in the Moslem religion getting out is very hard to do and often results in your death. There are religous enforcers present in every Mosque
If you have a daughter, sister or even know someone thinking about marrying a moslem man especially one from a country that has been under Moslem control for at least two generations beg them not to marry the man.

We've all seen them - AMVs with a song that has a decent beat, and footage of characters dancing to the music. Which ones do people think are good?
I only have one nomination right now: this video by AbsoluteDestiny, with footage from a bunch of shows (but primarily "Super GALS!") and music from the Blues Brothers. I'd like more...

COLUMBIA Lucys Love Shop employee Wanda Gillespie said she was flabbergasted that South Carolinas Legislature is considering outlawing sex toys.
But banning the sale of sex toys is actually quite common in some Southern states.
The South Carolina bill, proposed by Republican Rep. Ralph Davenport, would make it a felony to sell devices used primarily for sexual stimulation and allow law enforcement to seize sex toys from raided businesses.
"That would be the most terrible thing in the world," said Ms. Gillespie, an employee the Anderson shop. "That is just flabbergasting to me. We are supposed to be in a free country, and were supposed to be adults who can decide what want to do and dont want to do in the privacy of our own homes."
Ms. Gillespie, 49, said she has worked in the store for nearly 20 years and has seen people from every walk of life, including "every Sunday churchgoers."
"I know of multiple marriages that sex toys have sold because some people need that. The people who are riding us (the adult novelty industry) so hard are probably at home buying it (sex toys and novelties) on the Internet. Its ridiculous."
The measure would add sex toys to the states obscenity laws, which already prohibit the dissemination and advertisement of obscene materials.
People convicted under obscenity laws face up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
South Carolina law borrows from a 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling to define obscene as something "contemporary community standards" determine as "patently offensive" sexual conduct, which "lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value."
